[VCSFA_MARS @VCSFA_MARS]

The purpose of the @SalisburyU University #ThinSat mission is to take measurements of the magnetic field using an IMU (BNO55 9DoF) sensor as well as using an RGB light sensor to detect increases in red light.

#VirginiaSpace is happy to support @northropgrumman's NG-15 mission to resupply the International Space Station! #Throwback of MARS Pad 0A in 2010 during construction!
#Antares

[VCSFA_MARS @VCSFA_MARS]

Did you know the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL), the hydraulic system which raises the #Antares rocket to a vertical position, can lift approximately 1.2 million pounds? That’s the equivalent of 92 adult elephants! #VirginiaSpace #VirginiaIsForLaunchers

Go #Cygnus, go! @VCSFA_MARS is proud to support @NASAWallops, @northropgrumman, and the @Space_Station!

[NASA Wallops @NASAWallops]

🚀 LIFTOFF! 🚀 The Northrop Grumman Corporation #Antares rocket carrying the #Cygnus spacecraft loaded with science and supplies is on its way to the International Space Station! The spacecraft will dock with the space station on Monday, Oct. 5, at 5:20 a.m. EDT.

[Northrop Grumman @northropgrumman]

We’re set to launch #Antares from @NASA_Wallops this evening at 9:16 p.m. EDT following last night’s scrub due to a ground software issue that has been resolved. Go #Antares! Go #Cygnus!

[VCSFA_MARS @VCSFA_MARS]

Join us tonight at 9:38 p.m. EDT to watch @northropgrumman’s CRS-14 mission blast off to the @Space_Station from @VCSFA_MARS and @NASA_Wallops. No matter where you are in the Mid-Atlantic region, the #Antares rocket should be visible! #NASASocial #NG14
